Ortega Persecution Masks Conciliar Sect’s Internal Apostasy
The Catholic News Agency portal (November 25, 2025) features Nicaraguan “priest” Nils de Jesús Hernández, who fled to the United States in 1988, boasting about his political activism against the Ortega-Murillo regime. The article portrays him as a heroic figure resisting dictatorship while praising antipope Leo XIV’s meetings with exiled Nicaraguan “bishops” Silvio Báez and Rolando Álvarez. Hernández claims the regime “can’t take away our faith” despite confiscating churches, while simultaneously endorsing immigrant protests against U.S. laws under President Trump. This narrative exemplifies the conciliar sect’s substitution of supernatural faith with revolutionary politics.
Political Activism Displaces Sacramental Ministry
Hernández’s self-proclaimed title “vandal priest” reveals the heretical inversion of sacerdotal priorities. While valid priests before 1958 followed Pius XI’s teaching that “the priest is not intended to have care of temporal things” (Ad Catholici Sacerdotii, 54), this apostate boasts of organizing “marches here against laws… under President Donald Trump” and leading student protests. The article celebrates his political agitation against both Sandinistas and U.S. immigration laws while remaining silent about his administration of sacraments or spiritual guidance of souls. This confirms Pius X’s condemnation in Pascendi that Modernists reduce religion to “an interior movement of the soul” divorced from objective truth.
Naturalism Replaces Supernatural Faith
When Hernández declares “the Lord will prevail and will be victorious”, he reduces divine triumph to mere political liberation. Contrast this with Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas: “When once men recognize, both in private and in public life, that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty” (19). The article’s complete omission of Nicaragua’s sacramental life – no mention of Mass attendance, confessions, Eucharistic devotion – exposes its naturalistic framework. True Catholic resistance would prioritize preserving valid sacraments over street protests, as the Cristero martyrs demonstrated when they died chanting “¡Viva Cristo Rey!” rather than political slogans.
False Ecumenism in “Pacem in Terris” Scandal
The blasphemous comparison of “Bishop” Báez to Martin Luther King Jr. and “St.” Teresa of Calcutta through the Pacem in Terris Award epitomizes the conciliar sect’s religious indifferentism. Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors condemned the notion that “good hope at least is to be entertained of the eternal salvation of all those who are not at all in the true Church of Christ” (Proposition 17). The award’s namesake encyclical by antipope John XXIII (1963) promoted universalist heresies, making its bestowal on a conciliar “bishop” fitting. Hernández compounds this by urging Nicaraguan opposition to “set aside all their political agendas” while himself agitating for regime change – the very political activism condemned by Leo XIII in Immortale Dei as usurping the Church’s spiritual mission.
Antipope’s Political Posturing Masks Doctrinal Vacuum
The article praises antipope Leo XIV’s meetings with exiled “bishops” as “a slap in the face to the dictatorship”. Yet this political theater avoids addressing the doctrinal causes of Nicaragua’s persecution – namely the conciliar sect’s own abandonment of Catholic social principles. When Pius XI condemned communism in Divini Redemptoris, he grounded his arguments in Thomistic philosophy and liturgical tradition. By contrast, the antipope offers empty gestures while permitting the Novus Ordo’s continued devastation of sacramental life. Hernández reveals the truth inadvertently: “The silence in Nicaragua is due to the repression” – a perfect metaphor for the conciliar sect’s muteness on dogma while chattering endlessly about politics.
Conclusion: Revolution Replaces Religion
This propaganda piece inadvertently documents the conciliar sect’s terminal state. Its “clergy” resemble Che Guevara more than Curé d’Ars, exchanging rosaries for protest signs. As the false “vandal priest” himself admits: “They will steal all the buildings, they can close all the churches… but they cannot take away the faith”. Tragically, the buildings confiscated by Ortega housed not Catholic altars but tables of assembly – the true theft occurred when Vatican II stripped sanctuaries of their sacrificial altars. Until Nicaraguans reject both the Ortega regime and the conciliar counterfeit church, their suffering will continue.
